Parallel worlds

[Remus]

Since I've seen there are quite a few physics threads around I thought I'll give it a go. Do you believe parallel universes exist? If you do, then how is it possible, and if not then why? I'm talking parallel worlds that are physical just like our world. Oh yeah one more thing if you don't believe parallel worlds exist then how do you explain the Combine ?

 

[short recoil]

There are "worlds" that exist in the same space as ours, an infinite number.

They balance each other out perfectly, to infinity, effectively meaning there is both everything and nothing in the singularity.

With infinity probability is 1, our world would exist exactly how it is now.

In each infinite world there is a set path to infinity that it will follow due to the arrangement of everything the period before, wether that be ours with life on earth going whereever or just a big gloop of particles...........they did not start anywhere and the will not end anywhere, this is the singularity of existence.

By this, it is to say that any world is the infinite section at that momment arrangement is the exact balance of all the others, as they change so does "ours", this is time.

 

[Jintor]

I think there was something going on with how you can't measure light as a particle when it acts like a particle, and you can't measure it as a wave when it's acting like a wave. That problem goes away with parrallel universes.

I could be talking complete rubbish.

BTW, in an infinite world, doesn't everything happen?

 

[short recoil]

Yeah, exactly.
So our world WOULD happen, it's the only logical way our world can exist.

Everything else has a "what happened before" meaning it cannot exist.

 

[Zephos]

My head just imploded in a comical fashion.

 

[Sulkdodds]

All possible worlds exist.

For example, in a parallel universe, my name is Silkdodds, and I bear an uncanny resemblance to kngHenry,

 

[Gargantou]

And in a parallel universe everyone is named Gargantou, blonde, blue eyed and bear a strikingly odd resemblance to the German "Aryans"!
Not to mention, in a parallel universe penis is named vagina and vagina is named penis!
Btw, ain't it known between scientists etc as the Many-world Theory, rather than parallel universe?
AFAIK Parallel universes is more like the "fantasy"/fiction term and Many-world Theory/Many-worlds interpretation the scientific term that actually refers to the REAL scientific "category".

 

[short recoil]

Lol, it's so funny when people come up with examples of multiple universe properties.

 

[Gargantou]

Anyway, if the MWI is true, then I need to build a machine to teleport between'em, and kill all my "twins" and absorb all their strength! Kung-fu style!
I will not let all these me-phonys give me a bad rep in the other universes!>_<

They all follow the same line, you are transporting between them now infact, i don't know if interdimensional transport is "possible" for us selectively, basically you could have a potential paradox free time machine.
How the **** you'd build one i have no clue, i'm sure if it effects everything in normality there must be some way of concentrating the effects to just yourself/vessel.

Imo, if anything would do it extreme gravity would.

 

[Gargantou]

Well yeah I guess if MWI is true then I am technically transporting between'em continuosly..
Man I should do a discussion thread but it ain't physics, more philosophical..
Like Determinism
Mmm.. Determinism..
Anyway, short recoil, in another universe we're having gay sechs right now! Ain't that a scary thought?>_>

Yeah, I know, and it's actually called multiverse theory.

And how the heck did you reach that conclusion? You are not continuously transporting between universes. Oh yeah, and please don't derail this thread to philosophical nonsense, I hate philosophy.

It is however fun to imagine how a different universe might have turned out. For example in one universe there is no Earth and in another dolphins have the superior inteligence on Earth etc.

"I will be the one!"

 

[Sulkdodds]

Quite the contrary.

Every action concievable creates another universe...
...and I hope you realise, this kind of thing basically is philosophy.

 

[Gargantou]

Sorry for "derailing" it.
Anyway, yeah it's heckuva fun..
Heck, in another universe Duke Nukem Forever is OUT now!!!!! And STALKER..
Also, Multiverse refers to a GROUP of hypotheses..
Such as the Chaotic inflation theory, Bubble universe theory and the more famous quantum physics one, called the Many-world interpretation.

OK I stand corrected.

Still can travel between universes be possible? If they exist that is.

And another idea that I've heired, that in another universe not only did history take a completely different course but the laws of physics are different. If that is true than traveling to another universe could kill you.

 

[Greatgat]

I don't believe in parallel universes. I find it impossible to believe that somewhere out there is someone that is possibly more sexy than I already am. Or, horror of horrors, a MEXICAN. (DISCLAIMER: I am joking.)

 

[Gargantou]

Yes, that makes it also pretty dangerous, because that means that sooner or later, since everything happen, someone will start to travel between the dimensions, atleast if the physics varies from universe to universe..
So someone might actually try to conquer every single other universe!>_>
Scary thought >_<

Who knows this might be already happening right now, and we are next!

 

[Greatgat]

FREAK OUT!!! But yeah, seriously I don't like the idea. It seems to imply that no matter what I do with my life, it doesn't really matter. Somewhere, someone is doing better than I am, someone is doing worse, and nothing I do is really relevant. If there are an infinite number of 'me, out there, statistically speaking, I'm probably the average. We all are. No sir, I don't like it.

Well mate i don't care tbh.
I could kick the shit out of any of my alternate versions though.

I like your attitude.
Pesky "twins".. Lets kill'em all!:hmph:

 

[Solaris]

And then get there powers....

Any one ever seen "The one"?

 

[dream431ca]

The parallel universe theory is part of the space-time continuum. Theoretically if you could open a hole in the space-time continuum, you could get into a parallel universe or another dimention.

 

[Gargantou]

Solaris, I have, that's where I'm getting the "idea" from.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Why would physics work differently in another universe?

 

[Greatgat]

Now that's not very friendly, is it? I think my alternate versions and I are going to have put your alternate versions and you in a time out.

 

[Solaris]

Becuase all the universes float around in 11 dminesions in a multiverse and then collide and make universes with a mixture of laws of physics.

 

[Sulkdodds]

D:

 

[Solaris]

How the hell they decided 11 dimensions and not like 5 or 13 is beyound me.

 

[Llama]

There isnt really any point thinking really ddeply about, its like thinking about god...cant prove it either way.

 

[Teta_Bonita]

In a parallel universe, Jack Thompson is toast.

 

[Raziaar]

I don't believe in Parallel Worlds. It is just fantastical fiction.

 

[Sulkdodds]

* Silkdodds claws through the fabric of reality and drags Raziaar into halflife2.net Beta.

 

[Raziaar]

* Silkdodds claws through the fabric of reality and drags Raziaar into halflife2.net Beta.

* Raziaar wakes up and everything is back to normal. "Whew, just a bad dream."

 

[Remus]

In a parallel universe there is no Half Life!!:O :O :O

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

My bizarro self doesn't own a TV. Other than that, everything's pretty much the same.

 

[Dan]

The definition of a universe is that it is everything. The whole space-time continuum. It is completely contained. Because of this, our universe cannot by its definition have any contact or relation or effect on another universe. Therefore it is irrelevant whether separate universe's exist/don't exist. The existance of an infinite number of "alternate" universes is arbitrarily true and false at the same time.

Simply put, it doesn't matter.

:| bad answer. your viewpoint is based on a too-literal interpretation of definition that doesn't even reflect the question.

 

[Dog--]

There kind of is a Half-life in a parellel universe, it's called Full-Life! omg!

I'm tempted to ban you for that post. You're dropping my IQ.
